Boschreuke, boomreuke,
  balsem aan 't hert;
dragen en schragen, aan
  balke en aan berd;
kappen en kerven en
  vellen omver;
ruischend en buischend gewar en gewer
zie 'k, daar al zittende, - of
  hoore ik, - in 't mos:
ruw is het leven, en
  vrij, in den bosch!
Spelling change used by Zagwijn: buischend -> bruischend
